Featuring a cross-cultural introduction to psychopomps, this book brings light to times of uncertainty and fear that often accompany the process of dying or its living corollary the dark that comes from shame and the shadow parts of the self. Neither a book on bereavement nor a mediumship primer, Psychopomps & the Soul offers ancient wisdom to bring ease to modern distress around grief and inner darkness. Whether you experience loss through physical death or psychological soul death caused by living inauthentically, psychopomps can provide a full toolkit for navigating unfamiliar liminal space back to peace and wholeness. Tiffany Lazic not only introduces you to psychopomps from cultures around the world, but also acts as a psychopomp herself, sharing personal reflections that illuminate key aspects of the journey out of the dark and back to self. She teaches how to be of service to someone experiencing a similar transition as well. Tiffany helps you, as many psychopomps before her have, find the right path in times of darkness and descent not just at the end, but at any point in life. With rituals, meditations, and ceremonies, this book offers tools to guide you through the most challenging times and difficult emotions to find strength and hope.
